Eid

Houston-area Muslims’ mosques are either converted into hurricane shelters or are inaccessible due to road damage. So on the holiest holiday, Eid al-Adha, the thousands of these Muslims Americans prayed in a local high school.

New York City public-school students will get the day off this Thursday, Sept. 24, for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. Summer-school students will also get off for Eid al-Adha starting next year. Is this a signal of change in the public’s perception of Islam?
